What makes a good recipe & cooking app
Recipe apps move from inspiration to the kitchen: beautiful discovery, then step-by-step cook modes, ingredient lists and shopping lists.
What these 57 recipe & cooking apps have in common
The 57 apps here average 12 captured screens each; Crouton is the deepest at 226 screens, and 1 of them have 20 screens or more — enough to follow onboarding, the main tabs and settings end to end.
50 of the 56 rated apps score 4.5★ or higher on the App Store, led by foodByMaria (5.0★), NYT Cooking (4.9★) and America's Test Kitchen (4.9★). 95% are filed under Food & Drink and 4% under Health & Fitness, so the set cuts across categories rather than repeating one genre page.
